If Texas wants to leave, let them.
And then we can conquer them and turn them into a protectorate. We’ll swap in PR or DC as the fiftieth state, so we don’t need to update the flag.
Well its gonna be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missoura.
Texas has Austin, Dallas, and oil. All three are things we’d like to keep; the first two are mainly dragged down by the rest of the state, and the rest of the US still needs the last, for now.
You forgot Houston, the blue spot that their politicians are trying to remove the vote from. Literally. It’s horrendous.
3rd/4th largest city in the country (constantly back and forth with Chicago) and Houston is always somehow forgotten 😢
If I was associated with Texas, I’d also rather be forgotten…
Yeah sure, population of 30 million people, but let’s just write them all off as forgotten. Or be a grown up and realize that Texas and the wider world are not black and white and more a variety of grey shades. There are bad people here, there are also good people here.
Doesn’t your voting system do that anyway?
remove the military bases and their gdp goes way down.
And prisons
Well the US would have to “Come and take [the cannon]” first as it’s in a museum in Gonzales, Texas. It was too much trouble for a dinky little cannon then, it’ll be too much trouble for a dinky little cannon in this hypothetical future.
Edit: upon further research the “Come and take it” cannon was not that little one in the museum, but a larger one. However that one was melted down and turned in to a church bell
What?
Cool! Thanks for the history lesson.
The US just releases a public statement that says they value their alliance with Mexico and have no intention of interfering with their politics or their military.
the ghost of Santa Anna starts dancing
Imagine if we built a wall to keep out Texans
A guy can dream.
Classic line from John Lennon’s hit song 😂
They would get invaded for their oil
